"'We've been fighting for competition in mobile stores and payments for all developers,' Steve Allison replied to one critique on X. 'When Fortnite players buy V-bucks using Epic's payment system instead of Apple or Google's they earn 20% back in Epic Rewards.'"
"Epic is still on the defensive over recently raising V-Buck prices despite winning legal battles for better margins on app stores. Most developers disagree with Sweeney's stance on AI disclosure rules."
